Happy New Year 🤍

As we step into a new year, I want to gently name something many people feel but don’t always say out loud: early January can be a difficult time. After the holidays, support can feel distant, and feelings of loneliness, grief, exhaustion, or unresolved emotional pain often surface.

If this season is bringing up anxiety, sadness, or old wounds, please know you’re not alone, and reaching out for support can be the healthy choice. As with other areas of our lives, healing sometimes requires reaching out to a professional for help. You don’t have to figure everything out by yourself.

You are welcomed into a safe and compassionate space where healing, peace, and renewed purpose can unfold. Sessions are guided by your needs and interests, using a strengths-based, holistic approach grounded in evidence-based care.

If this resonates with you, or if you know someone who may be struggling, feel free to reach out or share this post. Sometimes the first step is simply letting someone know support is available.

✨ I offer in-person sessions in Miramichi and secure online counselling across Canada. Free 15-minute consults are available if you have questions about the services I offer. You can reach me at (506)251-1997 or Aquacreativecounselling@gmail.com.

May your year be blessed with hope, compassion, and grace. ❤️‍🩹

Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

From the Mayo Clinic:
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition that affects the way people feel about themselves and others, making it hard to function in everyday life. It includes a pattern of unstable, intense relationships, as well as impulsiveness and an unhealthy way of seeing themselves. Impulsiveness involves having extreme emotions and acting or doing things without thinking about them first.

People with borderline personality disorder have a strong fear of abandonment or being left alone. Even though they want to have loving and lasting relationships, the fear of being abandoned often leads to mood swings and anger. It also leads to impulsiveness and self-injury that may push others away.

Borderline personality disorder usually begins by early adulthood. The condition is most serious in young adulthood. Mood swings, anger and impulsiveness often get better with age. But the main issues of self-image and fear of being abandoned, as well as relationship issues, go on.
